Thank you to the Sri Lanka Tourism Board for inviting us to participate in the Hello Again “Safe and Secure” program! https://www.srilanka.travel/helloagain/ 💖 SUPPORT US : https://www.patreon.com/join/chopsticktravel? 🥢 BECOME A MEMBER : https://www.youtube.com/lukemartin/join In today’s video, we are taking you to experience traditional village life in the beautiful mountain ranges of Sri Lanka. We are starting the day at a family home to watch the preparation of Aggala, which are a Sri Lankan rice ball specialty. There are so many different varieties of Aggala, mixed with different nuts and ingredients. We washed the Aggala down with traditional Sri Lankan tea. After eating over 10 varieties of Aggala, we hiked down through the jungle to another family’s home. There, the family made us an amazing Sri Lankan lake fish curry from scratch. Many of the ingredients came from their own farm, like the chilies, coconuts and the banana leaves. Once the food was prepared, the fish with a few other dishes were wrapped into banana leaves. They are meant to stay wrapped up in the banana leaf for about an hour, to allow the flavours of the curry to marinate the rice. While we waited for the flavours to soak in, we continued hiking down to a river. We found a swimming hole and enjoyed cooling off in the water. After our swim, it was time to eat the lake fish curry! It was so incredible and it was our first time eating in a traditional Sri Lankan village since 2019! What an amazing experience with these families. We would like to thank the families for welcoming us into their home and village. After lunch, we went higher into the mountains to experience camping in Sri Lanka. We ventured deep into the Knuckles Mountain Range with a 4x4 to arrive at Wild Glamping Knuckles (https://www.themeresorts.com/wildglamping/), a beautiful oasis on top of Sri Lanka. There was no better way to end our trip in the mountainous villages, and the tents were exceptional. We highly recommend trying a glamping experience during your visit to the island!
